I've been robbed

[snippet]

I'm so upset as I write this. My stomach is in knots. I'm waiting for the police to come to make a report.

Yesterday I went to sew at church. Packed all my things and put them in my rolling bag and was off. Came home but didn't take the bag out because I was going to be sewing with my quilting circle today. Today, I have other stuff to put in the car before I leave for a class and then quilting. My sewing bag isn't in the car! It's gone. I go back in the house to make sure I didn't bring it into the house. Not there.

I've been robbed!

I swear I locked the car like I always do, but I must not have this time.

So, I guess I have nothing to do but make an inventory of what is in that bag while I wait for the police. I want to cry.

Oh, that's awful. You must be gutted. I can't understand these mindless morons who think it's ok to steal from people and upset them so much. I'm so sorry this happened to you.

Re: I've been robbed

I am so sorry this has happened. How awful. I would check with your home owners and/or auto insurance to find out if it would be covered.

Are you sure you didn't leave it at the Church?

I'm so sorry....but look at the bright side.....new stuff! Was your machine in there too?

Re: I've been robbed

Oh, how awful! It has been so cold here that I wouldn't dream of leaving my machine in the car overnight, for fear of freezing alone! I am so sorry this has happened to you. Once you can get through the police report, insurance paperwork, wait for the check, etc.....you will have a shopping trip to look forward to in your future. I know that is little consolation now.

I'm so sorry to hear that! Hope you can recover your things! Machine gone? That's the worst!

Re: I've been robbed

Oh yeah, my machine is gone. Rulers, fabric, thread, presser feet, scissors and rotary cutters. All of it.

Re: I've been robbed

I feel sick for you I hope the police don't just go, oh a sewing machine and rulers. That would piss me off too if they did.

Re: I've been robbed

Oh, I feel so bad for you. I remember once when I left my car unlocked in my condo lot. Next day my crochet tote was gone with all my months of work and all the change and money compartments in my car emptied! We know it was kids, but I wonder what they did with my bag of work. It probably got pitched somewhere when they realized that it was not a purse. I didn't even care so much about the money, but months of crochet work gone forever! I learned my lesson.

And, BTW, you may have very well locked your car. Thieves have quick ways of entering your car in a few minutes with their super duper thief tools!

Re: I've been robbed

Oh no! I am so sorry! You must be sick..... Losing everything like that..... I know it isn't Just "stuff" to you. We get very attached to some of our quilting gear...... Favorite rulers, markers.....that great pair of scissors.... Not to mention your sewing machine...Yes... You can buy new things, but sometimes it isn't the "thing" isn the thing.... You know?

Having said that, I hope it is all covered by your insurance.... Especially your sewing machine... It would be awful to have to replace everything out of pocket....

Hang in there.... Let us know what happens.

Re: I've been robbed

Be sure and give the police an estimate of the value of everything. When you add it all up it may classify as grand theft. Also, you should have the serial number from your sewing machine. That will them help checking pawn shops, craig's list, etc. and identify it as yours.

Re: I've been robbed

I am so sorry. Hope they find who did such a rotten thing.

Re: I've been robbed

I feel for you! It is such a violation to have our things stolen. It just takes a pretty harsh mental toll on our sense of security. I am so sorry this happened to you. But I hope it is all covered by your insurance and buying new replacements will somehow ease some of the strain.
